Patience! In days of yore whenever you made a copy of scripture, it had to be copied out by hand. And whenever the Monk (Monks were among the few people who could write) wrote the name of his Deity, the Monk had to stop, throw away the pen, ceremonially wash himself, pray for a while, and THEN he could get a new pen and continue writing.

Quality takes time!

Sorry, that bit of lore is continuing today, but it is not monks. Sorry to disappoint, but this is Jewish scribes, soferim.
